Poured into a tumbler pint at Savage's Ale House, Muncie IN.
Appearance - 3.5
Dark, dark brown, with a chocolate highlight. Creamed-coffee colored head 1/2" thick at pour, which settles down to a small ring after a few gulps. Tiny speckles of lacing line the glass all the way down.
Smell - 3.0
Malty sweet coffee smell, with nothing too prominent. Not a very fragrant beer.
Taste - 2.5
A slight roasted coffee taste. Aftertaste is a little burnt. Doesn't stick well to the palette. It's not an aftertaste I want to savor.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
Full-bodied, but seemingly light for a stout. Pretty smooth, but not as creamy as I prefer a stout to be. Tiny bit of fizz may take away from that creamy body I like.
Overall - 3.0
An average beer. Nothing too impressive, but I'm not terribly disappointed. It fits in with my impression of Sun King, as just average. I hate to diss a home-state beer, but Sun King just doesn't do it for me.

Deep brown color with some lighter edges. Head fades quickly to a thin ring, but leaves some nice patches of lace.
Milk chocolate in the nose with some roasty notes. Sugary, sweet smelling aroma.
Roasty notes, without a great deal of sweetness. A bit dry and sharp, with a dash of bittersweet chocolate.
Lacking a bit in body, with fine carbonation. Easy to drink. Nothing overwhelming, but nothing terribly disappointing.

A - Looks watery...dark coffee color. Short tan head which does not last long.
S - Smoke and burnt coffee beans.
T - Coffee grounds with some malt.
M – Light bodied and higher carbonation than I expected for a stout… thin and watery. Not my favorite combination for the style.
O – I wanted to like this one, but it was not doing it for me. My least favorite Sun King brew.
